If You Show It . . . We Will Come

Coming this August, Netflix, the "world's largest online DVD movie rental service," will host a free screening of the 1989 movie Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa, about 27 miles west of Dubuque.

Great idea, but next summer we hope to see Take This Job and Shove It at the Dubuque Star Brewery.
